I fell again
Tumbling down, down
Dragged to the depths by the weight in my chest
By my heavy heart
It doesn't learn, that heart
All it wants is to be rid of pain
But each time I think it's healed
It gets broken again
How can a heart be so heavy
If it has so many holes
Deep gouges and crevasses that wound it
Mercilessly
This fall is worse than the others
This time I don't just feel sad
I feel betrayed and anguished
And I left first
I left first
I vowed I never would
But it was better for everyone, I hope
And he won't suffer because of who I am
God, why do things hurt so badly
Why do I sob and cry if I've done the right thing
I haven't cried in so long
But I won't be able to stop for even longer
Where do all these tears come from
Where do they hide until I'm hurt
Am I crying for my heart
Or his this time
My God, my Lord, take the pain away
Please, I beg You, take it
But if You can, take his away first
So that this guilt stops plaguing my heart
My hands are shaking
There is no life left in my voice
I've returned to my painful existence
As a saddened soul, a broken heart
When will this ever end?

That last line is so wonderfully haunting. The depth of sorrow is really noticeable in your poem, and it's very beautifully interweaved. Thanks for entering!

the Heart is a very confusing thing, i swear i mean that the heart is, keep it flowing

of course this poem is a work of art, but you should know that because you're an artist. However I wonder what happened today that inspired the two poems you've written. Please call me soon, I'm suffering from FWS.
